You are a “conservative” that hates flatter taxes and craves special deductions?
“You are a “conservative” that hates flatter taxes and craves special deductions?”
flatter is a misnomer in this case, depending on whose ox is being gored. taxes are being raised on individuals and families both now and in the future in order to offset the permanent large tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy. taxes can’t be cut in totality because the CBO tells you so. so someone has to pay more so that others can pay less. and guess who is paying more? it’s like the dems won rather than Trump, because dems have never found a tax they didn’t like.
i presume middle class taxpayers are the primary consumers in this country. i presume that businesses expand and create jobs because there is a greater demand for the products they produce. well then, if the middle class has less money to spend because their taxes are going up, why will businesses want to expand and create jobs if their customer base is dwindling.
funny how it’s alright to double the standard deduction, which actually won’t do much good for many, as those families with children are going to be losing $4050 exemption per person, but you think it’s wrong for people to want to be able to keep their current deductions.
this bill was written by goldman sachs former employees who crave their own special deductions, which may serve you well, but it’s going to hurt a lot of other “deplorable” voters who were responsible for our President’s election victory over that despicable, hilliary.
i recall our president promising the following:
“We will massively cut taxes for the middle class, the forgotten people, the forgotten men and women of this country, who built our country....Tax relief will be concentrated on the working and middle class taxpayer. They will receive the biggest benefit and it won’t even be close.” Donald Trump, Scranton PA, Oct 2016
i don’t see those big permanent tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy, and the temporary tax rate cuts for individuals, quite matching our president’s campaign promise.
i hope it doesn’t come back to haunt Trump the same way it did after George H.W. Bush’s said “read my lips: no new taxes.” we can’t afford to have the dems win in 2018, because it will enable them to impeach our president, Donald Trump, preventing him from being able to finish draining the swamp in order to Make America Great Again.
